    With the numbers given, your trial balance is not in balance. Can you double check to see if your numbers are correct? Where did you get these numbers? I'm suspicious about the $68,000 common stock. Could it be $6,800? Even given that, something is not correct. If it is $6800, can you double check the title for the Interest Revenue - could be Interest Receivable? If not, is there an account missing with a $1600 balance?

    To answer your question on income, I have a different answer. If you'll tell me how you came up with $22,000, I can tell you where you are going wrong. Thanks.

    It is 68,000 common stock and it does say interest revenue 800; interst receivable (short term) 400, I rechecked the numbers and I wrote them down corretly. For my total assets I ended up with 188,00 and total liabilities and stockholders equity was 193,300. Still trying to figure out where I messed up in both the Income and Classified balance sheet.

    When first looking at this, I thought the original numbers were your trial balance. I see now that the retained earnings already include the year's income. The $193,300 is correct. I'm trying to see if I can figure out where you went wrong on the assets. My assets equal liabilities and stockholders equity. Tell me what you show as assets and what you show as net income. I thought one possibility was Supplies - which should be an asset, but that doesn't account for the full difference.

    Interest Revenue is an Income Statement item. Everything else is good. Let's take a look at your Income Statement and how you came up with $22,000. My guess is that it has to do with the gain on sale of equipment.
